  1. Anyone else think that the best solution for this problem would be if pmdg just released .torrents for their packages. Tranfering via torrent is a totally legal way of doing it, the user still needs his original key and I'm sure there would be more than enough users willing to seed. Eagle dynamics does it with all of their DCS modules and it works great! You can still let people pay if they want to use the pmdg redownload service or just put out the torrent and it doesn't cost you a thing as the users themselves are putting up the bandwith Think about it PS. Just stressing here that I'm not recommending any sort of illegal downloading in any way! Marijn De Gusseme
  2. TOGA will only engage if below 2000ft radio altitude or above 2000ft radio altitude but with the flaps not up.Are you in those conditions?CheersMarijn De Gusseme
  3. Hi,Some good info here, but not all correct. You need to look at three distinct cases:-AFDS configured for autoland: Autopilot A & B BOTH engaged with localizer and glideslope captured AND flare armed annunciated. Autothrottle is engaged.Pushing the toga button will engage go around mode. Autothrottle will move forward to produce reduced GA thrust. Autopilot will remain engaged and will pitch up to follow flight director GA guidance.-AFDS configured for manual landing: Autopilot A OR B engaged and autothrottle engaged.Pushing toga will again engage go around mode. Autothrottle will move forward to produce reduced GA thrust. Autopilot will DISCONNECT, you will have to take control and manually follow flight director GA guidance.-AFDS configured for manual landing after autopilot is disconnected.Pushing toga will again engage go around mode, you will have to manually move the throttle forward and pitch up to follow flight director GA guidance. Reduced GA thrust is somewhere around 85% N1, this doesn't have to be set super accuratly, in the real aircraft you just strech your arm and that will usually give you an acceptable thrust setting ( called the "boeing arm")Note that even if both flight directors are switched off pushing toga will make them "pop up" on the PFD.About the thrust setting: pushing toga once gives you reduced GA thrust: GA will be annunciated on the thrust mode display (green letters just above your N1 indicators).The N1 produced will be around 10% below the green carrets on the N1 indicators. This will produce a rate of climb of between 1000 and 2000 fpm. More than enough for almost every normal go around.Pushing toga a second time produces maximum GA thrust. N1 will be annunciated on the the thrust mode display. The N1 produced will be on the green carrets on the N1 indicators. Should normally only be used in case terrain seperation is doubtfull.cheersMarijn De Gusseme
